If I still had my old '84 CJ-7, I would have paid you to help with the restoration. Talk about talent and skill. I think I speak for everyone here, Well done young man!
I would only have done 2 things differently, this is not a rub against you guys!!! You did awesome. I would use that engine, but with a cam for low end torque, and I would have had the frame hot dipped galvanized instead of powder coated. This is an AWESOME JEEP!!
you did a real nice job...something to be proud of...it was nice watching the jeep getting built..its always nice to see young people get involved with a project like you did....hope you have a great time wheeling it...
My FIRST "car" ... JEEP ! I had a 1985 CJ-7...man this takes me back. I had that thing for almost 5 years.. worked on it quite a bit. Never had to touch that 258 straight 6 though. This video takes me back. NICE WORK Boys...also it is AWESOME to see young guys in the garage. No F'in Play-station in sight !
Well Done! I have often thought of trying a resto but, I get lazy and worry I will not finish it. It was neat to see friend’s become involved in the lifting heavy things department. The year model CJ also gives the option to excellent powertrain choices. Going with 33’s coupled with the Generals makes wonderful eye candy including good street manners and off-road performance.
Gotta remember that alot of parents these days buy into the mentality of kicking your kids out at 18, they're gunna be salty to see the family unit working.
Fabulous job guys! We are restoring a cj7 too and your videos are being a very good guide for us! Very well explained and developed, step by step, Congratulation guys!
Damn nice Jeep, it’s cool that your dad is teaching what I think is the best hobby ever,,, restoring cars in the garage and talking about chics, and drinking when the camera is not recording.
I know I'm a little late for the party, but what a beautiful Jeep and great build! These types of videos provide inspiration for what I might like to someday do with my '98 TJ project. For now, I'm just going to focus on getting it safe for everyday road use. Texas is also by far one of the best and friendliest states I've ever visited!! Cheers from Canada!!
Very nice work!...in honor of my best friend who just happened to be my dad, I am building a jeep to..the CJ8 has always been my favorite but I am just a peasant and cannot afford one..but I was able to buy an 82 wagoneer that sat up for about ten years..got the 360 running and made plans to make it into a scrambler..I cut off the roof and windshield frame and removed all the body panels including the hood and grille..I cut off about 4 inches of the outside of the body leaving me with a straight line to build flat sides out of aluminum panels..I have a lot of work to do and for now I have to wait until I get a job before I can have any extra money to put into my project..but I wake up during the night fabricating the windshield frame, hood, grille..I got it all planned out, and will put it into action as soon as possible..I was thinking of a marine paint by Rustoleum called Battleship Gray..hope it looks as good as yours..and those look like the seats I want..need a backseat to for my dogs to.
Just came across your channel. Amazing work man! This is exactly how i'd build one. I like how you didn't cut corners and did a quality job while still making it a very accessible build that isn't into the near 6 figures like many people end up doing.
When I bought my JK in 2013, they had just come out with that color, but only on the 10th Anniversary Rubicon editions. I wanted it so damn bad on my Sport, but couldn't :'(
You probably know this but fuel injection is prefered for off road as it keeps the fuel to the engine during extreme angles. Also side steps is just something to hang up on off road. Lots of good work there, nice job!
Good video and i really like the restoration! The custom touches that were HAND built by the crew, dig the colors, and don't be ashamed of your race seats/harnesses...safety is sexy. Thank you and jeep at it
WOW. That's a really good job. I'm looking at doing something a little more extreme with my jku, but I'm pleasantly surprised by the lack of "specialty" tools that you needed to get this entire job done. The CJ looks amazing, ya'll did a great job. Congrats!
Very good job on the body and chassis in general...and excellent choice of final paint color! Personally, I have a big affinity for the 4.0-liter HO I-6 engines...and would have 'salvage yarded' a full engine, 5-speed, transfer from an old YJ and simply did a quick 'bearing/oil pump/cam' refresh...I'm just not a big v-8 fan for Jeeps (yeah, I know, AMC had the 304...but still)... Take care of it...should last a lifetime, if maintained. As you 'get older', you'll probably want the hardtop...and never forget, you can add 'aftermarket air' for about $1k...and that 350 will definitely drive a compressor!
Nice job, I’ll be starting a complete restore this year of a 78 CJ-7 w/ 304 V8 for my 12 year old son.. I hope to have it ready for his 16th.. I like the color you picked.
Very impressive! You guys look like you're still in high school and it is amazing that you have such talent and vision at your age - total respect. Agree with your choice of color - looks great. Be safe and keep up the videos.
HELL YEAH FELLAS! Just bought 79 CJ7. It needs a lot more work than that one haha. Rebuilt the carburetor (my first time i was a little worried), replaced the gas tank and hoses, fuel pump...smaller stuff. And of course it didńt crank. I got down on myself thinking ¨damn that was dumb to rebuild that carb¨. Come to find out, pinched a line mounting the gas tank back on. My carburetor work turned out ok! Íll send you guys some pics of it. Maybe we could do a collaboration on it haha. Or maybe yáll can give me some pointers. Great video for sure! Btw...not sure why my keyboard is in Spanish...more of a nuts and bolts kinda guy.
Hey to them haters... these boys are BUILDING A JEEP... how many teens do you know that can do that... this is talent at that age... besides... a 350 ?? That is a 1000 lb frame... gonna fly
Great vid. There really does not seem much difference between a 71 cj6 and this beast...lots of hard work. you should be very happy stoked and proud... Well done
Doing a quick restore to my 79 CJ7 I brung it from Arkansas Ozarks Southlake Norfolk when I sold my land and come to Southern Missouri 10 years ago been sitting out here in the yard for 10-years started up about once a year I just did a quick restore been working on it for about a month in the open-air she's looking good
It's good to see young guys interested and capable in mechanical things. Your parents should be proud. Nice job also!
I felt proud of them, and they're not even my children!!
I mean there aren’t as many now but i know of 2 or 3 including me in my school
InstaBlaster...
well im 13 and im very interessed in car engines especially if are good reliable or leggendary engines
This guy gets it. Plain and simple.
That CJ is now ready for the Florida Everglades! Restoration? That is a brand new Jeep! Congratulations and enjoy it!
Imagine if more kids were like these guys.
it's nice when you have a couple of friends or family to help you out.
Wow! In restoring the jeep you also restored my faith in your generation lol. Nice work guys 👍🏼
Looks great! Awesome job.
What size lift?
Great
BenDover
I wonder what he thinks of your generation?
Bro how much you spend in it
If I still had my old '84 CJ-7, I would have paid you to help with the restoration. Talk about talent and skill. I think I speak for everyone here, Well done young man!
That CJ is beautiful! Awesome work! I’m so impressed with the level of skills you guys have!
I would only have done 2 things differently, this is not a rub against you guys!!! You did awesome. I would use that engine, but with a cam for low end torque, and I would have had the frame hot dipped galvanized instead of powder coated.
This is an AWESOME JEEP!!
Perfectly beautiful. I absolutely love everything about the jeep.
you did a real nice job...something to be proud of...it was nice watching the jeep getting built..its always nice to see young people get involved with a project like you did....hope you have a great time wheeling it...
Proud owner of 2 jeeps myself. Beautiful work guys.
This is so cool!! I just built a 94’ wrangler! The guy we got it from had already changed the engine to a ford V8!!
I love my TJ. Wouldnt want anything later than that.... HOWEVER the one thing I loooove about the JK and JLs is the Anvil color. Great choice!
My FIRST "car" ... JEEP ! I had a 1985 CJ-7...man this takes me back. I had that thing for almost 5 years.. worked on it quite a bit. Never had to touch that 258 straight 6 though.

Haters out because dad foot the bill. Like you wouldn’t give your kid everything you worked for. Don’t take out your failures on these dudes.
Gotta remember that alot of parents these days buy into the mentality of kicking your kids out at 18, they're gunna be salty to see the family unit working.
I can only hope that my two boys grow up and want to restore a Jeep with me.
Matthew Maclauchlan exactly he could be giving this kid thousands to blow on Gucci and stupid stuff instead he’s learning valuable skills and bonding
Amen.
joshua hand agrees these kids are beasts. I have a BA but wish I could do half of this stuff.
Those straight 6's from AMC were dope and plenty for these jeeps. Nice work though.
Thanks for sharing. You did a nice job of choosing footage and summarizing the work. I look forward to watching some of the specifics.
CJ 7 's have a great instrument panel! good color, meats and definitely do the 4.10 upgrade!!!
When I was their age....ummmm...I was watching TV and goofing around with nothing to show for it!
Good on you! Beautiful job!
Fabulous job guys! We are restoring a cj7 too and your videos are being a very good guide for us! Very well explained and developed, step by step, Congratulation guys!
Damn nice Jeep, it’s cool that your dad is teaching what I think is the best hobby ever,,, restoring cars in the garage and talking about chics, and drinking when the camera is not recording.
Its nice to see the kids working with dad. I have an 80 cj5, always wanted a 7 tho.
That Jeep is almost too nice to wheel....AWESOME JOB!!!!!!
I know I'm a little late for the party, but what a beautiful Jeep and great build! These types of videos provide inspiration for what I might like to someday do with my '98 TJ project. For now, I'm just going to focus on getting it safe for everyday road use. Texas is also by far one of the best and friendliest states I've ever visited!! Cheers from Canada!!
Dang! Good stuff!
You called a jeep a car!! That's a felony. Don't let it happen again. 😉
BTW.. Beautiful job!
That’s in rough shape 😹. I pulled my 73 cj5 out of the woods. The tub fell of it no fire wrench needed. Good video
Great Video you are learning life long skills great job.
Just awesome Guys !!!! ..... Young People showing their Skills. Well done and keep on doing such impressive Projects!
great father / son project... what an experience! A lot of work.
Its a really awesome resto, In New England the rust makes a project like this a whole new animal
So cool to see you young men doing this. Happy for you
Makes me miss my CJ-7.
Nice job.
Great job and great video. All around, an excellent display of dedication. Congrats gentlemen!

Don Saxon That’s badass man, good luck with the build.
Just came across your channel. Amazing work man! This is exactly how i'd build one. I like how you didn't cut corners and did a quality job while still making it a very accessible build that isn't into the near 6 figures like many people end up doing.
I love the anvil color!! That’s what I got my yj painted in
When I bought my JK in 2013, they had just come out with that color, but only on the 10th Anniversary Rubicon editions. I wanted it so damn bad on my Sport, but couldn't :'(
Sick, I definitely agree anvil is prob the best color Jeep has come out with. Nice job
Beautiful piece of art brother. I’ve been doing an 84 CJ7 myself and it’s a lime green with a 350 Chevy, turbo 400, and 44 inch tsl boggers
Built to last with the rust protection. Great job.
Ficou lindo demais nossa que obra de arte saudações do Brasil
You probably know this but fuel injection is prefered for off road as it keeps the fuel to the engine during extreme angles. Also side steps is just something to hang up on off road.
Lots of good work there, nice job!
The straight six engine is amazing!
Can't wait to build my own CJ-7 someday
I will Congratulate to all your Team members who they done this beautiful work. Really nice work.. Thumbs up
Had a 78 cj7 once...love your build..awesome color..tough and simple..perfect. Great job

This is an awesome build! Even better that you did it with your Dad and friends.
WOW!!! Well feckin' done! AMAZING
Good video and i really like the restoration! The custom touches that were HAND built by the crew, dig the colors, and don't be ashamed of your race seats/harnesses...safety is sexy. Thank you and jeep at it
Definitely doing this if i have a money to spare.. im really in love with old 4x4 jeeps.
Great job man! Always excited to see others around my age interested in cars. It's a hard thing to come by now a days. Keep up the good work!
WOW. That's a really good job. I'm looking at doing something a little more extreme with my jku, but I'm pleasantly surprised by the lack of "specialty" tools that you needed to get this entire job done. The CJ looks amazing, ya'll did a great job. Congrats!
viewed from argentina tonigth. thank you !
young guys did this=better than driving around and jumping old people or destroying private property...kudos to y'all
Man i wish jeeps stayed that solid where im at 😂
Very good job on the body and chassis in general...and excellent choice of final paint color!

Nice job, I’ll be starting a complete restore this year of a 78 CJ-7 w/ 304 V8 for my 12 year old son.. I hope to have it ready for his 16th..
I like the color you picked.
SWEET! I so want to put a V8 in a Jeep.. Awesome work!
That was one of the coolest things I saw today...
Definitely my favorite color too!
Very impressive! You guys look like you're still in high school and it is amazing that you have such talent and vision at your age - total respect. Agree with your choice of color - looks great. Be safe and keep up the videos.

Fantastic job
